Dear Stockholder:

Please accept our thanks for sending in your White Proxy Card.

To avoid any possible dispute as to the validity of your proxy for the reason(s)
indicated below, we are requesting that you sign, date and mail the enclosed
additional White Proxy Card with the correction indicated below. This proxy will
automatically revoke any previously granted proxy when it is returned.

| |  Your previous White Proxy Card was unsigned. (If signing as attorney,
     executor, administrator, personal representative of an estate, corporate
     officer, partner, trustee, custodian or guardian, please sign and give your
     full title as such.)

| |  Your previous White Proxy Card was undated. (Please date, sign and return
     the enclosed White Proxy Card in the enclosed envelope.)

| |  Your previous White Proxy Card omitted your title or authority. (If signing
     as attorney, executor, administrator, personal representative of an estate,
     corporate officer, partner, trustee, custodian or guardian, please sign and
     give your full title as such.)

| |  Your previous White Proxy Card, as signed, did not conform to the name
     shown on the proxy. (Please date and sign the enclosed White Proxy Card
     exactly as the registration appears on the proxy, including your full title
     if signing other than in an individual capacity.) If the registration is in
     the name of a custodian for the benefit of a minor, the custodian must sign
     and indicate his/her capacity. If you are a beneficiary 18 years or older,
     you may sign as long as you indicate your age.

| |  Your previous White Proxy Card did not cumulate votes properly. (If you
     wish to cumulate your votes, please be sure that the total number of votes
     you cumulate is exactly six times the number of shares that you owned as of
     the Record Date, and that you write the cumulated vote amounts in the space
     provided next to the nominee(s) that you wish to vote for.)

| |  Your previous White Proxy Card, as marked, did not clearly specify your
     instructions. Please sign, date and clearly mark your proxy.

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

We have previously sent to you proxy material for the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of The Goldfield Corporation to be held on June 19, 2001. According
to our latest records, we have not yet received your proxy. Your Board of
Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR all proposals on the agenda.

Remember, since approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote by the
holders of a majority of all shares of Common Stock outstanding, your vote is
important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. Please help your
company avoid the expense of further solicitation by signing, dating and
returning the enclosed proxy card today.

Thank you for your support.

Very truly yours,



Dwight W. Severs
Secretary
